The black-and-white photo gained public attention after the recent announcement that it will be auctioned by Christie's[wiki] in New York next month, in conjunction with Carla Bruni's present status of the First Lady of France. [ via ABC News ] [ via FOX News ] [ via Daily Mail ]. On a separate note, both ABC and FOX, as well as -- I'm sure -- the rest of American media*, censored the aforementioned picture, which is by no means surprising, what I find interesting is that FOX chose to use the images of French flag for this purpose.

In these fairly recent pics Elle Macpherson is sunbathing topless with her family. It's not like we haven't seen Elle topless before, after all she once said: "I come from a country where you don't wear clothes most of the year. Nudity is the most natural state. I was born nude and I hope to be buried nude." But she is one of my favorite models and I kinda felt obliged to make this post, and once again point out how great she looks at the age of 41.
